FILTERMAT Spray Drying

The FILTERMAT® spray dryer provides gentle, flexible and economical drying for a variety of ingredients, including hygroscopic or sticky food and dairy products, which are difficult to handle in other drying systems.

It is ideal for the gentle and economical production of a free-flowing, agglomerated powder. Our extensive experience provides complete control over crucial aspects of the drying process, including:

Final moisture content

Final product structure

We also offer a Tote Tumbling System for gentle blending of bulk materials, a Gas-Injected, High Pressure Homogenizer Drying System for foaming creamers.

Foam Drying

Gas injection of air into liquid dairy or non-dairy mixture before spray-drying. Very low bulk density of finished powder that contains trapped air for a large amount of foam release when added to coffee or hot chocolate.
